Which digital media player plays full ripped DVD's ?
Money not being an objective .... I am building a library of ripped DVDs - it's saved to the RN device in the standard DVD file structure, which is: NAMEOFMOVIE \NAMEOFMOVIE\ts_audio <<<-thi...
XBMC is certainly working now with DVD VOB's. Having full access to DVD menus and bonus features is nice.
The only bump I've run into is with TV shows. If I want to maintain DVD menus and features, I must treat them as movies and manually add text files for the scanner. But then I lose the convenience of XBMC's TV navigator. The other option is to treat them at TV shows, but then I loose bonus features unless I specifically identify those features as episodes. There's probably a hybrid solution, but for now the movie option is working well enough.
I've started looking into options for transcode-streaming VOB format to local and remote devices, e.g. my local Wii or my remote iPhone. Orb did a little of this back in the day, but I don't believe it handled DVD's. It'd stream individual VOB's but wasn't smart enough to navigate the DVD, pick which track was the right one, attach movie names with VOB filenames, etc. I checked Twonky today, and it seems to do the same thing. Any suggestions?
